Keeper choice: Dez Bryant or AJ Green?

I get to keep one of these guys for the next several years (no draft picks required).

 

Who would be better for 2016 (this one season)?

 

Who would be better over a 3-4 year period?

 

Dez: injuries to him and Romo the past couple of seasons ruined those seasons for Dez owners. Any hope for a turn around with these two, or do we just wait for Connor Cook to emerge (LOL)?

 

Green: under performed the last 2 seasons, but Bengals lost their #2 & #3 WRs (Jones and Sanu) and just added LaFell , still have Brandon Tate and drafted Tyler Boyd. Maybe Green's role expands a bit without Jones and Sanu?

 

One last thing, If I opt for Green instead of Dez, I will get a comp 10th round comp pick

Pretty even, but I give Dez the advantage for a few reasoning:

 

1. Less competition for TDs - When Romo and Dez are healthy, Romo will give him a shot almost every time in the Red Zone. Obviously, the risk is with the health of both Romo and Dez.

 

2. With the Cowboys O-Line play and Elliott running behind them, the Cowboys should have a better running game than the Bengals, and when Defenses are forced to protect against that, it will mean one-on-ones for Dez.

 

3. Weaker Division - especially defensively - The AFC North and the NFC East are really night and day with quality of defenses. Granted, Steelers and Ravens defenses were down in '15, but over 3-4 year span, the AFC North teams will put together much better defenses than NFC East.

 

The issue with keeping Dez will be how long Romo plays and who follows him. I'd keep Dez and if he has a good season this year, which he should barring health - I'd trade him for a few draft picks or a younger RB/WR before his value declines as Romo bears retirement.

I just believe Green has more talent in terms of speed, catching and stretching the field.

 

Dez has a LONG way to go when it comes to maturity and carrying himself as a professional

 

Doesn't mean he can't turn it around because Brandon Marshall was able to elevate his game and keep his momentum going by changing his fundamental approach in all aspects of life.

 

Green is top notch

 

Dez has talent but I would take Brandon Marshall over Dez every day a long with green

 

I need dez to show me something to have my mind changed.

Thanks Henry. Any specific reasons why Dez over AJ Green? One of the hardest decisions I've had to make in this league.

 

My logo says it all..,and...

 

Dez helped me win a $200K national championship in 2014 and AJ Green fell 3 points short of duplicating the feat in 2015 so maybe I am biased.
